"Ahmed Shehzad can be Pakistan's Tendulkar" : Abdul Qadir

In recent times he hasnt really been given a good run in the team tbh. He performed really well in the only t20, both with the bat , and on the field. Would like to see him more often in the ODI team.
 
Boy got the potential but luck isnt on his side in terms of selection. Trust me guys if someone like afridi becomes the captain, he will play shehzad. Trust me.
 
Its interesting he pointed out Yasir shah's name in 2009 and we all saw in 2011 how good this guy is as a leg spinner and as a brilliant fielder and also a handy batsman.


Unfortunately he was never given consistent chances at international level as an non performer senior leg spinner all rounder with his media buddies and support among Wasim Bari,Iqbal Qasim,Mohsin Hasan Khan always have managed to stay in team even after non performance as an all-rounder.
 
Ahmed Shahzad can be Pakistan's Tendulker: Qadir

He has a more of a chance of becoming the next Arjun Tendulkar.
 
Re: Ahmed Shahzad can be Pakistan's Tendulker: Qadir

Lol I thought Qadir was a rare sensible expert :facepalm:
 
Some Pakistanis need to seriously get over their Tendulkar obsession.

Why not our next Anwar (if he meant as an opener) or our next Inzy.
 
I hope the fans give this team some time, even Jamshed had a very scratchy time in the second game and threw it away again today, Shehzad also seem to be struggling a bit but these are difficult conditions for batting, if you can bear Farhat for 12 years, Shafiq for 43 ODI games, YK for over 250 ODI games, please go these two young openers atleast a couple of full series before deciding anything on them. The kid is just 21, he will only learn with time.

This is what we have been saying earlier, a couple of failures and people will ask for the youngster to be removed, very unfair indeed, I'd give Shehzad more time to do well, esp here when batting isn't easy at all.
 
lol. one guy had a nerve to say that he does not want shezhad to become like Tendulkar.:facepalm: thats why your best batsman struggling to score a single hundrad after going 50 million times. It like saying indians dont want Wasim or Waqar and happy with Ishant Sharma.

But most players don't improve with time. They hit their ceiling early and stay mediocre for ever.

I'm sure a lot of people would have said that the likes of Farhat and Hafeez would improve when they were 21.

Honestly, I seem him of the calibre of Hafeez and Farhat. He's a very average player.
 
Blimey Indian trolls filling their boots here.

Might turn out to be better than Tendulkar and not play for records, talking of which when did Tendulkar get his frist ODI century?!?

Took longer than Shehzad.....tut.....tut

You may be right mamoon but it won't be fair to drop him after these 2-3 games, not at all.

Personally I think he has some potential this lad but he'll have to do well soon, no denying that, for now lets just give him some time.
 
Yep, Shehzad needs to get a score in this series. Even if it's a 55 or something, because he is looking really scratchy and not cut out for the international stuff at the moment.

Fair enough. This series + the Zimbabwe one should be a good enough gauge. But it's looking bleak for him at the moment.

Re: Ahmed Shahzad can be Pakistan's Tendulkar: Qadir

Time to make a thread of Shehzad vs Umar Akmal. Come on Bullet. Get on it pronto.
 
Lot of you guys are taking it wrongly. Statements was Pakistan's Tendulkar. Benchmark was Pakistan. Even though his statement looks wrong but he didn't say that Shahzad will be a next Tendulkar.

Anyway, this fellow hasn't shown anything so far to be called Pakistan's Tendulkar.

Ahmed Shehzad is doing fine for a 21 year old. If he played for Australia or England, he probably would be the next Tendulkar. Unfortunately he is playing for Pakistan where sporting knowledge within the general public is limited.

I hope Pak preserves with him and plays him in tests as well.
 
An OTT statement obviously but I just think he was trying to give a young batsman some confidence and public backing. Qadir was a very good selector imo.
 
Qadir has much more knowledge than random Shehzad haters like Mamoon or Kiwi. So at the end of the day, we should now accept that Shehzad is a future star and needs to be given as much chances as he needs without having to perform,
 
I don't think this would've added pressure as it wasn't everyone saying it, while I think everyone comparing aamir to Wasim could've
 
Your son can be Pakistan's Warne and your son in law can be Pakistan's Kohli.
 
You know a talented player when you see one. Sorry, but Ahmed Shehzad has never looked talented to me.
 
He negotiated the new ball well today, why so much hate?

An openers job is to provide a good platform to the middle and lower order so that a big total can be posted.

he has to play the new ball, not just survive and score peanuts at an awful strike rate.

The way he starts, it makes it impossible for the middle and lower order to post a big total.

He is terrible.
 
Yes a batsman with a DOMESTIC average of 33 and SR 75 will be the next Tendulkar. Our ex cricketers/ Selectors/ PCB are horribly clueless.
 
He can not even dream to be Tendulkar. That would be criminal. He will be charged for that kind of dreaming :P
 
He's very good but he can even better if he improves his game against spin. Just needs to rotate strike better becausd no one can question his boundary hitting ability.

He's obviously not the next Tendulkar but he can easily become a Pak legend in all forms of the game.
 
Shehzad has obviously weaknesses but his temperament for hundreds is highly commendable.

With due respect to posters laughing on Qadir, Qadir did say that he has ability to become Pakistani Tendulkar, which would be someone like Miandad.

That would be good for Pakistan for long many years plus we could get a future captain.

Yah, that's the key point. He didn't say that he has ability to become the next SRT.

I didn't see Miandad's entire career but he was in different league. I don't think that Shezad will get in that league. His game against spin is really poor. May be he can surprise me by improving a lot in that aspect.

He should play more FC matches .... He is just 22 .. Within 2-3 years, I hope that he will improve his overall game. He has solidfied his position as an opener so he can play freely .. He is also future captain if he does not get involved in scandals (which would be hard for him as he is hot headed and follow Afridi camp)

That's nice.

Phil Hughes averages 87.5 in Test cricket with 2 Test centuries and a fifity in 2 games against the best bowling attack in the world on their home pitches.

Hughes also averages 62.4 at first class level opening the batting in the toughest domestic competition in the world. 7 centuries and 12 fifties in 20 matches.

Shehzad averages 40.33 at first class playing on the flattest wickets in the world in the Pakistan domestic competition. 2 centuries and 4 fifties in 13 matches.

Wish Shezhad all the best but there is no real basis for you to make that comparision. Unless you are going back to junior cricket which has no real bearing on international performance.

RIP Phil .. These two started playing at same time, got hit by ball and one lived :(

Age is on Shehzad's side. He can mold himself as one of Pakistan's great.

Couldn't resist bumping this thread. It's not because of Sachin or Shehzad that I'm bumping this thread, it's because I managed to read the highlighted post.

The late Phil Hughes was making a name for himself as a youngster back then, and what stellar figures he had as highlighted. Who would have thought he would lose his life playing a game he loved so much, that too when he was so young.

Really breaks my heart! Once again, it's got nothing to do with Sachin or Shehzad, I was reading articles on the late Raman Lamba this morning, and somehow came to read this post by 'Random Aussie' in this thread. Life can be so cruel!
 
Bump! Another thread that I've enjoyed reading and has provided me comic relief :)))

Qadir is someone who is just throwing names around right, left and centre - a lot of talk if I'm honest.

How can you compare someone like Ahmed Shehzad who hasnt even played an international game with a legend of the game like Tendulkar - its abbsoluely ridiculous and laughable.

btw having spoken to Ahmed Shehzad I think he thinks he is already better than Tendulkar. Keep your feet on the ground young man. Score a few runs, play a few times for Pakistan and then think you are a superstar.

Wow even back then he was the same. The guy should've been put in his place back then.
